What causes "Connection reset by peer" errors?

[Klaus Fehlker <ly...@gmx.net>]

Hi,

I have problems using my repository from certain locations. I use Apache
2.0.54 with Subversion 1.1.4 on server-side and 1.2.0 on client-side. I use
it from within the LAN as well as from remote sites with a poor network
connection.

Unfortunately, large commits from the remote site sometimes break with the
message "Connection reset by peer". The Apache logs tell that the server
could not get the next buckade brigade - whatever that means?!

I suspect it to be some kind of network error but do not really know how to
make sure. There is no proxy in between. 

Below i appended the network traffic dumped with Ethereal (165.72.165.25 =
server). In frame 236629 the client sents a DELETE *somethingcryptical* but
the commit only consists of adds. Does that have to do with the error?

Many thinks for any help,
Klaus
